The New York Star very justly says
that the postal service has been improv-
ed except in the local rates. Many adj
vancts have been made to the great con
venience of the public, such as the re-
duction Of the general rate TO two cents,
the extension Of money order facilities,
the Inauguration of the system Of postal
drafts and notes, and the introduction of
the stamped postal letter sheet. The
only reactionary step taken is the aboli-
ton OF the ono-cent local service

The Jaurez anniversary in Mexico recalls
to the conservative people Of our neigh
boring republic the service done to Mex
leo at the time of MaXimilians reign
by this country.
But it is rather sentimental in some OF
the papers to charge the Mexican war by
which we acquired California, TO the
Southern Shareholders
The general impression is that the
country generally has taken great pride
in that exploit, and it is either a very
handsome compliment to give the South
the credit or blame of it, or else an emo
tional effort of friendship for Mexico

Reso(roi; Tba, in our opinion o more

schools is one OF the most imperative edu-
cstionai needs 10 this State; that we ear
nestly urge sll Town Superintendent to
require in their examination OF teachers q
high standard Of excellence in scholarship
and in ability to teach. and that we also
urge parents 10 visit onr schools more ire
quenily.
Resolred: That We believe instruction
in temperance in our public schools 10 be
desirable and necessary, and We pledge
ourselves to carry out the spirit OF the law
recently enacted.
Resolred: That we firmly believe that
under the present system OF schools
large part OF the money aud energy which
this State devotes 10 the education OF its
young is worse than wasted, that We be-
lieye that the adoption Of the Town Sys-
tenn OF schools is the next step forward
which the State can well take in education.

Of the Legislature In reducing the posi-
bility OF this system having fair trial 10
those towns where ii has been adopted by
allowing the return TO the district system
after two years. and that We pledge our
selves 10 continued exertions for the pro-
motion Of more healthy public sentiment
upon this question.
Resolced; That the best interests Of ed
ucation demand that the profession Of the
teacher should be dignifed. and his power
for good increased by tenure Of Office leg
